I thought Wally could use some help getting use to this strange new land. Enter Antarctica’s Big Book of Facts. This is a fictitious book, but a great way to put stuff about Antarctica into the comic and use in future strips. Not that this comment is entirely true, penguin brains are just a bit [...]

It’s gross. But it’s fact!
Adelie penguins build their nests with a circle of rocks. And outside that nest you will see a splattered ring of the evidence. Scientists have an Ig Nobel Prize Award for scientific achievements which cannot or should not be reproduced. Penguin pooh wins the area of Fluid Dynamics where they measure [...]
Perhaps even more amusing, they don’t really have any tea or honey.

I told you this small aircraft of a bird would be arriving in the comic. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use a narrator at any point, but I decided to finally, think of it as clippings from Wally’s copy of Antarctica’s Big Book of Facts.
My Safe Return
Yes, I am back from my much [...]
I’ve read reports of these birds being quite aggressive from the researchers there in Antarctica. Apparently they have no problem coming up and taking food from you.
Must be frustrating for the penguins, having this other bird around, that’s nearly as big as you, but it can fly, and it eats pretty much anything, including you [...]
I don’t have too much too add here since the comic pretty much covers it. It’s true though, the Skua is a very aggressive bird and this is how far they will go to get food. Actually I remember a kid in school that practised kleptoparasitism. He would walk up to my lunch tray in [...]
Some species of crabs can live in pretty cold waters, they live as far south as the sub-Antarctic islands but not actually in Antarctica’s surrounding waters. Scientists have found fossils of them though, showing that they lived there long ago in a time it was warmer there.
As Wally stated, those are crabeater seals. They are [...]
Well, Wally is always lugging around and reading from his “Antarctica’s Big Book of Facts” book, it was time for Osbourne to have one, and learn a bit more about Wally. Or at least how science thinks Wally should be.
In the archives you can sort by category and read all the Book of Facts strips [...]
It’s been long argued whether the Kodiak bear or the polar bear are the largest. Depends how you look at it I guess. The Kodiak is a subspecies of the brown bear, and the polar bear is closely related to the brown bear. The largest Kodiak bear from the wild was 2,500 lbs and there [...]
We are on the brink of a storyline! Osbourne’s wheels are about to start turning… I can feel it.
I’ll actually be light on words the next couple days here as I’m trying to finish up a big project I’m working on that I need to get done by the weekend’s end. This is the part [...]
